We stayed at the Creek side Chalet. Room was nice and clean, newer clean bathroom and hot water readily available. Driving towards the chalet in dark was scary ( a little more light in the area will be better) but much nicer in morning. We had dinner and breakfast at the restaurant attached to it. Food was fresh and delicious. Breakfast portions were quite generous. Overall, nice stay.

14 miles to kings canyon. Rooms small. Ie 2 twin beds had about 2 ft between them but rooms very clean and beds comfortable. Sufficient because if u r in the park, you will only be sleeping there. Building old but well kept. Would stay again based on proximity to park and excellent restaurant attached to property. Restaurant not fancy, but food excellent, portions huge, prices very reasonable. Nice to sit outside on stoop with other guests in the evening.

It’s a great spot to stay before entering Sequoia National Park from the north. It blends perfectly with the Sierra mountains and has a charm that takes you back in time.
